This incident, Today Friday December 29 took place at Gate No. 1 of Chandranath hill under Sitakunda Police Station of Chittagong District.
Eyewitnesses at the scene said that, a group of youths carrying sticks ambushed Chandranath Dham, one of the main pilgrimage sites of Sanatan Dharma followers, when they were putting up banner festoons to protect the sanctity. 10 people including pilgrims were injured in this attack. Those who attacked are said to be working for tourism tourists with local political identities.
Locals also said that for the past few years, various conspiracies have been going on with this pilgrimage site. It’s a shame that some are presenting it as a tourist spot especially recently. As a result, some communal circles are trying to destroy the solemnity of the pilgrimage. Campaigning for various provocative activities including Beef Party. Such activities are being carried out in the pilgrimage areas, which are hurting the religious sentiments of local and all over the world Hindus and creating a stir among the local public.
Chandranath Hill in Sitakunda, Chittagong, Bangladesh is the most important temple and pilgrimage site for Hindus. Sanatana believers believe that he promised Vyasadeva that Mahadeva Shiva would reside here in the Kali Yuga. Not only that, Rama, Lakshmana, Sita were here in this Sitakunda hill. There are many other religious philosophical explanations.
Over the years, the number of foreigners visiting here has increased manifold. A year ago, their delegation, including the news editor of ‘The News‘, heard the miking of the temple above while climbing Chandranath hill. In miking it is said to come to the temple in decent clothes, maintain modesty to protect the sanctity of the temple. When she reached the temple at 1300 feet above, the priest saw the journalist and removed all the troubles from his mind. He said that he does not know how long he can protect the temple like this. 3 times more Muslims than Hindus. Not only that, the youth come here and use various indecent practices.
The News team saw on the ground, 13-14-year-old boys walking around the temple porch wearing lungis and shoes. Spitting on the temple. Seeing the camera in hand, young men/women are somewhat restrained by fear, but this is a daily occurrence.
There is not a single Hindu shop up the hill. As the Muslims were coming up, the news editor asked them, why are they coming if it is not a religious place for Muslims. In reply they said, it is a tourist spot, their property too, they will come more and more. A mosque will be built at one time. 2 years ago a picture became very viral on Facebook. A young man prayed for the first time at Chandranath, building a mosque is just waiting for time.
